| 12.5 : 12.5: Ravichandran Ashwin to Matthew Wade, OUT! CAUGHT! Jadeja holds on! There was some confusion but he did really well to keep his eyes on the ball to hold onto it. A poor shot from Wade.

| 49.3 : 49.3: Mohammed Siraj to Marnus Labuschagne, OUT! CAUGHT! Siraj strikes! His first Test wicket and it is the other debutant, Gill who takes a fine catch. A huge wicket for India. Perfect field placement from Rahane and Siraj delivers the delivery. Full and on the pads, Labuschagne is just 2 short of a half ton. He gets the ball on his pads and looks to flick. He fails to keep it down as it goes to the right side of the backward square leg fielder. Gill there lunges at the ball and takes the catch |
| 53.4 : 53.4: Mohammed Siraj to Tim Paine, FOUR! And Paine is finally off the mark. A short ball just outside off, Paine swivels and pulls it over square leg for a boundary. Short of a man in form. |

| 61.4 : 61.4: Mohammed Siraj to Cameron Green, OUT! Three reds and Green has to go. Brilliant bowling from Siraj. Full, fast and straight. Green looks to drive with straight bat but misses to get hit plumb in front of the wickets. A loud, loud apppeal and the umpire raises his finger this time. This looks plumb but Green reviews after having a word with his skipper. Let's see if the technology can save him. Replays roll in and well Green has to go as there is no bat involved and the ball is hitting the |

| 65.5 : 65.5: Jasprit Bumrah to Mitchell Starc, FOUR! Whipped nicely from Starc. A fuller one from Bumrah around off and middle, Starc flicks it hard through mid on for a boundary. |
| 67.1 : 67.1: Jasprit Bumrah to Mitchell Starc, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust and it is Bumrah now who picks his 3rd wicket.

A good length ball just around off, comes back in just a touch as Agarwal looks to defend but misses to get hit on the pad. They appeal and the finger is raised. Agarwal is not too sure if he has got any bat but he goes for the review. Replays roll in and it shows that the ball has hit the pad first. Ball Tracker shows |
| 3.4 : 3.4: Pat Cummins to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Gill is off the mark in style! That is some stroke to get off the mark in Test cricket. A fuller ball around off, Gill drives it through mid off. The fielder gives it a chase but fails to cut if off. This should calm Gill's nerves out in the middle. |

| 6.4 : 6.4: Mitchell Starc to Shubman Gill, FOUR! TAKE THAT! Starc bangs it short and it is on middle, Gill rocks back and powerfully pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary. Wanted to leave it alone at first but went with the shot and fetched a boundary for himself. |

| 21.6 : 21.6: Pat Cummins to Shubman Gill, OUT! TAKEN! Cummins finally gets his man. A lose shot from Gill and this time he runs out of his luck. He wanted to go after Cummins here but falls in the process. Lovely from Cummins. He deserves this wicket.

Australia get the breakthrough they were after. A fine kn |

Lovely bowling from Cummins again. It pitches just around off and it moves just a hint. Pujara looks to defend but gets an outside edge. The ball goes to the right side of Paine.

| 61.1: Mitchell Starc to Ajinkya Rahane, FOUR! FIFTY FOR RAHANE! The skipper is leading the charge for the Indians here. A fine knock from him. There were murmurs regarding his form with the bat but he has played a well-compiled knock to put all the talks to rest. Can he take India to a stronger position from here? He got a superb hundred in the 2014/15 tour and would be eager to do something similar here. He gets to his half ton by flicking the fuller ball on his pads down to the fine leg fence. |
| 65.3 : 65.3: Mitchell Starc to Ajinkya Rahane, STREAKY FOUR! A length ball just around off. It shapes away. Rahane plays it very late and runs it down to the third man fence. India take the lead with that boundary. |
| 67.5 : 67.5: Mitchell Starc to Ajinkya Rahane, EDGY FOUR! Lucky for Rahane! A length ball outside off, Rahane flirts with it as he stays rooted to his crease.

| 87.4 : 87.4: Pat Cummins to Ajinkya Rahane, FOUR! SHOT! CENTURY FOR RAHANE! What a sensational knock this has been from him! He has batted with ease here. The big pressure of leading India in the absence of their regular skipper Kohli has not put him under any sort of pressure. If at all it has done anything, it has helped his game. There were questions about his form which has dipped over the past couple of years but he has responded with a superb gritty knock. He gets a loosener from Cummins. Sho |
| 88.6 : 88.6: Josh Hazlewood to Ajinkya Rahane, FOUR! Classy drive this by Rahane. A fuller length ball around off, Rahane creams this drive through the covers. The boundary brings up 100-run stand between the two. This can well be a match-winning stand between the two. |

He just batted and batted and batted but now he falls trying to sneak a single to help his partner get to his half ton. But Jadeja will be stranded on 49 for now and Rahane goes after playing a brilliant knock. A flatter ball around off, Jadeja pokes it towards point and calls for a risky run. Skipper Rahane responds. Labuschagne quickly gets to the ball and fires the thro |
| 103.5: Nathan Lyon to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! Hammered! Another short ball, this time Jadeja rocks back and nails the pull down to the deep mid-wicket fence. Superb stroke and it brings up 300 for India. |
| 106.5: Mitchell Starc to Ravindra Jadeja, OUT! CAUGHT! The short ball plan works and Jadeja falls prey to it. He was probably frustrated off the short stuff and tried to take on the bowler. Starc banged it in again. Jadeja pulled it hard but he found Cummins at deep mid-wicket. A good sliding take from him as this one was hit flat. Replays showed that he juggled and held onto it on the second attempt. Starc is elated. End of a fine knock from Jadeja. India's lead is 111 right now. |
| 109.2 : 109.2: Nathan Lyon to Umesh Yadav, FOUR! The broom comes out now. Flatter ball around middle, Yadav sweeps it well wide of the man at deep square leg. No chance for him to cut it off. |
| 113.6 : 113.6: Nathan Lyon to Umesh Yadav, OUT! CAUGHT! Lyon strikes and Yadav has to go. A tossed up ball outside off, the ball turns in. Yadav comes on the front foot and looks to defend but the ball takes the outside edge and goes straight to the slip fielder. Smith there makes no mistake. Just too good for the tail-ender. |
| 114.4 : 114.4: Josh Hazlewood to Ravichandran Ashwin, OUT! CAUGHT! Hazlewood gets one now. His first in the game. A length ball outside off, Ashwin looks to drive but ends up getting it off the outer half. It goes just over Lyon who is at point. He makes no mistake and takes the catch easily. India lead by 130 runs. |
| 115.1 : 115.1: Nathan Lyon to Jasprit Bumrah, OUT! CAUGHT! Tossed up and around off and middle, Bumrah gets down and looks to play the slog sweep. He fails to connect it well and hits it high in the air. The deep square leg fielder, Head, runs to his left and takes the catch easily. India lead by 131 runs. With this wicket, it is Lunch on Day 3. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Umesh Yadav to Joe Burns, OUT! CAUGHT! This time Burns has to go. A superb delivery from Yadav. This one pitches just around off and then goes away just a hint. Burns has to play at it. And he does that but only ends up getting a nick behind. Pant makes no mistake and the Indians celebrate. However, Burns gets to his partner at the other end and decides to challenge the onfield call, at the very last moment. Time for the replays. And only one is all we need. The Hot Spot detects a faint out |
| 8.1: Jasprit Bumrah to Marnus Labuschagne, FOUR! Nicely driven down the ground by Labuschagne as it was fuller ball around off. The mid on fielder had no chance to stop that one. |
| 16.5 : 16.5: Mohammed Siraj to Matthew Wade, FOUR! This should settle the nerves for Wade. Short and wide outside off, Wade crunches it through backward of point and finds the fence. |
| 17.5: Ravichandran Ashwin to Marnus Labuschagne, OUT! CAUGHT! Ashwin strikes and provides the much-needed breakthrough to the Indians. Lovely loopy ball around off and middle from him this time. It pitches and then turns in to Marnus. Labuschagne looks to defend coming forward but it takes the outside edge and goes straight to Rahane at first slip. The Indian skipper takes the catch easily. Good, little innings from him but Australia needed him to carry on. |
| 26.4 : 26.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Matthew Wade, FOUR! Lovely drive! A fuller ball on the stumps, Wade drives this past mid on to get a boundary here. |
| 31.6 : 31.6: Ravichandran Ashwin to Matthew Wade, MISFIELD AND FOUR! Tossed up and outside off, Wade throws his bat at the drive and makes a good connection. Agarwal at mid off fails to get to his right and stop the ball cleanly. It races down to the fence at long off. |
| 32.2 : 32.2: Jasprit Bumrah to Steven Smith, OUT! TIMBER! Smith is not sure what happened but the bails are disloged! Smith has been bowled around his legs. He is not sure and is hanging around. A length ball around middle and leg, Smith shuffles across the off side, like he always does and tries to work this one on the leg side but he misses. That doesn't happen often but it has happened here. And the ball goes on to dislodge the bail from the leg and middle pole. Smith is not sure what happened as Bu |
| 43.6 : 43.6: Ravindra Jadeja to Matthew Wade, OUT! LBW! Three reds and Wade departs. That looked plumb and Wade knew it but he took the review sensing the importance of this wicket. A quicker one from Jadeja, it is the slider from him. Wade looks to work it on the leg side but misses to get rapped on the pad. |
| 46.1 : 46.1: Mohammed Siraj to Travis Head, OUT! CAUGHT! Siraj strikes on the first ball of his new spell. What an amazing bowling change from Rahane. Half the Aussie side are back in the hut. Siraj is fired up and why not. Australia in all sorts of trouble. A good length ball outside off, Head throws his bat at it as he looks to cut but ends up getting a thick outside edge. It goes straight to Mayank at second slip who takes it easily. Head falls cheaply again. |
| 47.4 : 47.4: Ravindra Jadeja to Tim Paine, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Paine has to go as RTS spots an edge. Paine is not pleased. He just cannot believe it. A tossed up delivery just outside off, it turns away and bounces extra as Paine looks to cut but misses. Pant collects and appeals along with the bowler. Not out says the umpire but Rahane goes for the review straightaway. The Hot Spot rolls in. Nothing on it. RTS detects the bat. The onfield call has to be changed. OUT it is and Paine departs. What a rev |
| 55.1 : 55.1: Ravindra Jadeja to Pat Cummins, FOUR! Tossed up around off, Cummins goes over the top of mid off and gets a boundary. Some aggression now from Cummins. |
| 55.3 : 55.3: Ravindra Jadeja to Cameron Green, FOUR! Hammered! A short ball on middle, Green rocks back and powers it over mid-wicket. One bounce and into the gence. |
| 65.2 : 65.2: Ravichandran Ashwin to Cameron Green, FOUR! SHOT! Short and wide outside off, Green punches it past the man at mid off for a boundary. Australia take the lead. They are ahead by one. |

After bowling length deliveries outside off, this time Bumrah bends his back and bowls a short ball around middle and leg. Cummins is caught in an awkward position as he hops and tries to fend it off. All he does is lobs the ball off the shoulder of the bat to Agarwal at second slip. A gritty knock from Cummins but that was an unplayable ball from Bumrah. |
| 86.6 : 86.6: Jasprit Bumrah to Cameron Green, FOUR! Short and wide outside off, Green slashes it through backward point and finds the fence. Good way to end the over. |

| 90.6 : 90.6: Mohammed Siraj to Cameron Green, OUT! TAKEN! Green falls. The debutant has got the job done for India here. India one step closer to the win. A shortish ball around middle, Green looks to pull. However, it goes off the higher part of his bat and goes to Jadeja at mid-wicket. He seems to have lost it for a moment but does well to catch over his head. A fighting knock from Green comes to an end. Australia lead by 46 runs. |
| 96.4 : 96.4: Mohammed Siraj to Nathan Lyon, OUT! CAUGHT! Siraj gets another one. Australia are 9 down. The effort ball from Siraj. He bangs it short and on middle and leg, Lyon goes for the pull but ends up getting a bit of gloves to the left of the keeper. Pant moves that way and takes the catch.

| 103.1 : 103.1: Ravichandran Ashwin to Josh Hazlewood, OUT! TIMBER! Ashwin with the success.

| 5.1 : 5.1: Pat Cummins to Cheteshwar Pujara, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust! Pujara is the man and he falls to Cummins. Is there a twist in this game?

| 6.4 : 6.4: Mitchell Starc to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Soft hands! Good length and outside off, Gill waits and then just guides it with soft hands. It goes right in between gully and slip cordon. |
| 10.1 : 10.1: Josh Hazlewood to Ajinkya Rahane, FOUR! Width offered and Rahane pounces on it. Short and wide outside off, Rahane goes back and punches it on the up. It goes right in the gap between point and gully for a boundary. |
| 9.4 : 9.4: Pat Cummins to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Another boundary for Gill. Full and wide outside off, he leans into the stroke and drills it through cover-point for a boundary. Brilliant batting. |
| 10.6 : 10.6: Josh Hazlewood to Ajinkya Rahane, FOUR! SHOT! Super shot from Rahane! 50 is up for India. A fullish ball outside off, Rahane drills it through the covers for a boundary. |
| 12.5 : 12.5: Josh Hazlewood to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Take that! Josh runs in and bowls a short ball on middle, Gill swivels and pulls it powerfully through mid-wicket. No chance for the man at deep square leg to get to it. |
| 14.2 : 14.2: Marnus Labuschagne to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Whipped! 7th boundary for Gill already. Fuller and on the pads, Gill uses his wrists and whips it past the man at mid on. It races away to the fence. |
